Nursing Aids at War
Nursing Aids at War: The Australian Army Medical Women's Service in the Second World War explores the chronological history of the Australian Army Medical Women's Service (AAMWS) and challenges our understanding of servicewomen and gendered work in the Australian Army. Arranged in three parts, the book first introduces the nursing aid and how the Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) became intertwined with the nursing service in the First and Second World Wars. It then investigates disruptions, tensions and controversies faced by the VAD as they transitioned into the AAMWS; in particular, the training schemes for AAMWS to become professionally trained nurses in military hospitals. Lastly, the book explores and challenges representations and reflections of the VAD and AAMWS, including building a national identity separate to practising nurses, and acknowledging their history as largely being forgotten amongst discussion of Australia's wider military history.
Spisovatelia za mrežami
Kniha Spisovatelia za mrežami (2026) zaznamenáva osudy slovenských literátov, prekladateľov a novinárov, ktorí boli v 50. rokoch minulého storočia väznení. Boli medzi nimi špičkoví spisovatelia, ďalší predstavovali akýsi stredný prúd vtedajšej literatúry, ale uväznení boli aj mladí ľudia, ktorí nemali ani dvadsať rokov a tvoriť začali až po prepustení z väzenia. Približne päťdesiat spisovateľov bolo spolu za mrežami vyše dvesto rokov - medzi nimi odporcovia komunistického režimu, ale aj jeho vysokí funkcionári.
Modlitby v ťažkých časoch
Kniha modlitieb pre ťažké chvíle, ktoré nás v živote stretávajú. Táto vzácna a zároveň každodenná knižka nám umožňuje spájať malé i veľké trápenia s Božou láskou.
Isabelle Chevignardová pokojnými a pokornými slovami odkrýva nielen trápenie, ale aj krásu a radosť ukryté v krehkosti ľudského bytia. V reakcii na citát proroka Izaiáša „Si drahý v mojich očiach a ja ťa milujem“ (Iz 43,4) nám dáva pochopiť, že si vždy môžeme byť istí hojivou Božou prítomnosťou a že jednoduchou modlitbou môžeme obnoviť pokoj v našom srdci i v srdci našich blízkych.
Ariol 3: Svinsky dobrý kamoš
Také ľahké: ARIOL je somár a RAMONO prasa. Jeden je modrý, má dlhánske uši a veľké okuliare. Druhý je ružový a má rypák ako elektrická zásuvka. Niežeby sa podobali, ale sú kamoši. Až takí dobrí, že prasa niekedy robí somariny a somár prasaciny. A zrazu už fakticky nikto nevie, ktorý je ktorý.
Six Minutes to Winter (Paperback)
The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge.
Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours. A major missile exchange would mean months of near-total darkness, followed by a decade-long global nuclear winter that would destroy most life on Earth. Virtually everyone would starve in the resulting worldwide famine, and there would be no reliable refuge.
We are sleepwalking to Armageddon. There are no mass marches, no COPs, no nuclear Greta. But the climate experience teaches us that ignoring a problem is no solution, and that a worldwide mobilisation can work. Six Minutes to Winter presents an unflinching view of the nuclear nightmare, but also describes how weapons can be taken off hair-trigger alert and ultimately abolished altogether. If human civilisation is to survive long term, we have no alternative.

--
The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.
I've spent my life kneeling to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king.
I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood.
But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father's throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.
Now I'm crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him bound to a future I didn't choose and a husband I barely know.
Everyone wants me to be something I'm not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.
But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there's power in being underestimated?
And what if for the first time I reached for it?

It’s the summer of 1996, and Andy is stuck in a dead-end admin job at a Soho picture library. His dreams of becoming an indie rockstar are over, but luckily, he’s found the Next Big Thing through promoting gigs in Camden: a Norwegian three-piece who sound like ABBA meets Nirvana. Plan B is simple, live the dream vicariously by managing them. And when a record company shows interest, a door opens into an exciting new world. The only things standing in his way are a total lack of music industry know-how and his scary boss at work, who disapproves of his extracurricular activities. However, as the clock ticks towards his 30th birthday, success proves elusive. Everyone else seems to be making it, rival bands, ex-bandmates, his old band manager, even the record shop where he once worked has become famous. Andy fears he’ll never escape the day job to live his daydream. But he also knows that in music, there’s always tomorrow.

The Matchbox Girl
From the multi-award-winning author - a beautiful, stunningly ambitious novel telling the story of a young girl's battle for survival and search for the truth in occupied Vienna
Adelheid Brunner does not speak. She writes and draws instead and her ambition is to own one thousand matchboxes. Her grandmother cannot make sense of this, but Adelheid will stop at nothing to achieve her dream. She makes herself invisible, hiding in cupboards with her pet rat, Franz Joseph, listening in on conversations she can't fully comprehend.
Then she meets Dr Asperger, a man who lets children play all day and who recognises the importance of matchboxes. He invites Adelheid to come and live at the Vienna paediatric clinic, where she and other children like herself will live under observation.
But the date is 1938 and the place is Vienna - a city of political instability, a place of increasing fear and violence. When the Nazis march into the city, a new world is created and difficult choices must be made.
Why are the clinic's children disappearing, and where do they go? Adelheid starts to suspect that some of Dr Asperger's games are played for the highest stakes. In order to survive, she must play a game whose rules she cannot yet understand.

He thinks he's found it when he captivates his newest correspondent, Perla, the owner of a small-town boardinghouse in picturesque Veracruz.

When Inés discovers Ulises' true intentions, she wants in on the scheme. They'll convince her aunt that Ulises is a great catch, Perla will marry him, and her money will vanish. Easy, fast and clean. But Perla is not the desperate, silly spinster Ulises imagines. She harbors secrets. And although Ulises does not believe in true romance, Inés is more alluring than he bargained on. Suddenly, a simple plan may become perilously complicated.
Venture into the streets of a small town where the patina of convention and good manners conceals a cauldron of avarice and lust.

Over a scorching Florida summer and record-breaking hurricane season, Sebastian and Quincy are forced into close proximity. Setting aside their grudges to chase storms and stay alive is one thing, but can they weather the inevitable collision of their hearts?

Earth 7
An exhilarating, wildly inventive tour de force of love, humanity and the end of the world as we know it.
Two women, one raised in near solitude in a research pod in the depths of the ocean and one a luxury-resort bartender who may or may not be a robot, fall in love, cross deserts, gaze at the stars – and try not only to hold onto one another but together, possibly, salvage some trace of planet Earth.
Heartbreaking, mind-expanding, soaring with beauty, Earth 7 is at once a love letter to the world and a portrait of its slow disappearance. It’s about love and grief, microbiology and astrophysics, robots and planet Mars, and humanity in all its greatness, absurdity and distress. Welding the deeply human to the thrillingly strange, fizzing with intelligence and profoundly moving, it is the novel we need right now, and for all times.
Graysonov sľub
Manželstvo za peniaze, láska na nezaplatenie
Kira Dallairová je zúfalá. Čo najskôr sa musí vydať, aby získala dedičstvo po zosnulej starej mame. Inak zostane vydaná na milosť a nemilosť svojmu bohatému násilníckemu otcovi. S minimom peňazí a ešte menším počtom možností vymyslí dokonalý, aj keď trochu impulzívny plán.
Grayson Hawthorn stráca nádej. Ako bývalý trestanec s obmedzenými finančnými možnosťami má pocit, že jeho sľub oživiť rodinné vinárstvo je odsúdený na neúspech. Aspoň kým do jeho pracovne nevstúpi mladá žena s neobvyklým návrhom – výhodným manželstvom z rozumu, ktoré jednoducho nemôže odmietnuť.
Živelná a temperamentná Kira núti odmeraného a arogantného Graysona, aby od života očakával viac. Súboj ich vôlí prerastie v prudkú vášeň a náhle uvedomenie, že minulosť niekedy vytvára prekážky, ktoré je ťažké prekonať, a že klamstvá a podvody len málokedy vedú k šťastnému koncu.
Indigová dedička
Historický román z Ameriky a Škótska z 18. storočia o manželstve z rozumu.
Celý svoj život strávila na plantáži vo Virgínii. Nič iné nepozná. Mohol by ju však čakať osud na vzdialenom pobreží?
Juliet Catesbyová žije s otcom a sestrou v Royal Vale na plantáži James River, ktorú založila jej rodina pred viac ako sto rokmi. Najviac ju zamestnáva pestovanie indiga, avšak jeho vývoz spája Catesbyovcov s mocným klanom Buchananovcov v škótskom Glasgowe.
Keď na pobrežie Ameriky prichádza dedič buchananovského impéria, Juliet zisťuje, že jej otec zariadil, aby sa tento Škót oženil s jednou z jeho dcér, čím budú splatené obrovské dlhy. Juliet si je istá, že nevestou sa stane jej mladšia a krajšia sestra, a tak ju ohromí, keď si Leith Buchanan nevyberie Loveday, ale ju.
Napriek počiatočnému vzdoru si Juliet uvedomí, že potom, čo sa zaplietla do škandálu, má len jednu možnosť, a to utiecť z Virgínie. Jej jedinou nádejou je loď, ktorá práve odchádza do Glasgowa. Čoskoro však prichádza na to, že stať sa súčasťou rozsiahleho a vypočítavého klanu Buchananovcov, nie je práve ten pokojný život, ktorý si predstavovala. A že muž, ktorý ju zachránil pred katastrofou, je zároveň mužom, ktorého musí na oplátku teraz zachrániť ona.
Príbeh skupiny ABBA: Skrytá melanchólia
Fenomén skupiny ABBA nemá v dejinách hudby obdobu. Legendárnej švédskej popovej formácii dodnes pribúdajú poslucháči a jej hity si ľudia spievajú a tancujú na ne už viac ako polstoročie od ich vzniku. Uznávaný švédsky hudobný publicista Jan Gradvall získal v roku 2013 exkluzívny prístup k členom skupiny, s ktorými mal aj dovtedy blízky novinársky vzťah. Následne ich zhruba desať rokov spovedal, výsledkom čoho je táto kniha. Agnetha, Björn, Benny a Anni-Frid sa v nej delia o svoje osobné príbehy, myšlienky i názory na vlastnú hudbu, a to otvorenejšie než kedykoľvek predtým.
Gradvall ozrejmuje, ako úspech skupiny formovali okrem melodickej brilantnosti aj ambície či emocionálna rozorvanosť jej členov. Zároveň dôkladne približuje kontext, v akom vznikol jedinečný zvuk Abby. Podáva tak aj príbeh o Švédsku i globalizácii popkultúry.
Čitatelia sa dozvedia aj mnohé zaujímavosti, napríklad ako Abbu ovplyvnil fenomén švédskej tanečnej hudby dansband či ako sa miestna daňová legislatíva odzrkadlila na vzhľade jej kostýmov.
Škola pre magických nespratníkov
Lavinia Lucasová sa vymkla spod kontroly. Rodičia ju opustili a svoje priemerné magické schopnosti radšej využijú na štúdium chrobákov, než aby venovali čas jej výchove. A keďže nikdy nebola schopná zvládnuť svoju silnú a nepredvídateľnú mágiu, vylúčili ju z každej čarodejníckej školy široko-ďaleko. Jej poslednou nádejou je Škola poslednej nádeje pre magických nespratníkov – ak ju vylúčia aj z nej, bude koniec.
Vin je odhodlaná správať sa slušne, až na to, že to od nej nikto neočakáva. Riaditeľka a noví učitelia ju tlačia k preskúmavaniu schopností a neposlušní spolužiaci majú radosť z každej nehody. Medzitým sa musí vysporiadať s ohnivým škriatkom, podozrivým inštruktorom aj svojimi schopnosťami. Ale po prvý raz aspoň nie je sama.
Keď bývalý študent zaútočí na školu, Vin si musí položiť otázku, čo vlastne vie o novom domove a riaditeľke. Stojí toto miesto za záchranu? A budú jej začiatočnícke schopnosti a triky jej delikventných priateľov stačiť k ochrane školy?
